Hello! Today I have a fun and quick Haunted Family Portraits card to share with you. I’m using a SMALL 3×4 stamp set for this card…but this little stamp set really packs a punch!
Does this look like your family portrait hallway?! I was reminded of the Disney Haunted mansion with those family portraits whose eyes follow you down the hallway! So funny.
I love that there is a small silhouette stamp set with these images and this frame. It is perfect for building a portrait card like this.

Hello! Today I have a new video and two cards to share with the Happiest Skeletons! I’m also sharing the absolute easiest way to mask and ink on a card.
I’m excited to share that Whimsy now has No Fuss Masks (for many of their stamp sets)…and one that they are introducing TODAY is this one to match this new stamp set!
For this first card, I stamped the images and then stamped the EXTRA hand and foot stamps on the background. I colored everything up with Copics (cool greys for the main characters, and warm greys for the extra limbs)!
I love this slimline Filmstrip Die…I do think it is perfect for this card. I stenciled on that spider and the bats in the background with black ink.
For this second card, I used those No Fuss Masks (which I LOVE!!!) and masked off the skeletons so I could ink on the backgrounds and add some stenciling and stamping, without getting ink on those main characters. It’s an amazing new product!

Just how cute are these costumed critters?! I did quite a bit of masking to create this card, but I think the results are worth it. Check out my video for all the details and fun!
There was one image in the stamp set I didn’t use for my card today, but don’t worry..I have a new card idea just for that image!

Hello! Today I have another episode in my Halloween Card Series with these Mixed Media Harlequin cards. I love the look of this harlequin stencil and it has 3 different areas on this stencil for different looks!
These harlequin cards are similar, but different. I started out with some light cardstock in green, purple and blue. Then I ink blended a darker shade around the perimeter of each panel. Then I cut a different pumpkin for each of them using patterned paper and white cardstock.
For the green card, I stacked up that pumpkin before adding it to that harlequin background. I used some black ink to ink on those diamonds and stretched it out with a stencil trick that I share in my video.
Then I added some additional elements: a moon, web, and spider along with the Happy Halloween die cut in green and black. I offset the green to create a black shadow on the sentiment.
For the purple card, I used some Texture Paste and a different area of that harlequin stencil. I added some Antique Linen Distress ink around that white pumpkin to add more of a round look…and I do think it looks like it’s glowing! The spider, web, and Chills Word dies finish off this one.
For the blue card, I added the distressed harlequin portion of the stencil with some Crackle paste! I love this look! Then I added a pumpkin that was cut out of the BOOkeh paper. A simple sentiment and spider finish it off.
This little witch and cat are from the Wicked Cute stamp set. Aren’t they cute. I think they look great with the Pumpkin and Mini Jacks die cut set. For the background I added some black Paper Glaze. Once that dried, I stamped on some stars and dots with silver ink.
One last card I have to share uses the Harlequin stencil in a different way: as a design for the sky, grass, and pathway.
I love that spooky house on this slimline card! I heat embossed the “Wicked Cute” sentiment and added some jack-o-lanterns along that pathway.

Hello! Today I am excited to introduce my Halloween Card Series for 2023. I have a fun set of cards to share with 2 ways to create bats for your cards.
These bats are the cutest bat dies, with crazy eyes you can color up any color you want. I used Purple, Green and red eyes for one card, and black eyes for the other card.
Card 1: Batty Grave
This card was so fun to make: with Mica Spray, Ink, Dies, and ink blending! I share the how-to in the video.
I popped up those bats with foam tape so there’s some great dimension on this card. That green ink really makes it look like a “green glow” and I think it’s so spooky!
2. Slimy Cave
This card uses a little more coloring to add some detail to those bats and the green slime. But don’t worry…it’s really easy and I show you exactly how in my video!
I die cut the “EEK” with green glitter paper and the shadows with cream and purple cardstock. This sentiment really shines!!
Did you notice all the beady little eyes looking at you from the background?!? Oooooh…there’s some more bats, or even something creepier in the background.
